I was just reading about the new Happy Meal program. How many McDonald restaurants do people guess there are? 5,000? 10,000? More? Just think. Some poor LEGO employees had to recreate/copy an 18" Ronald McDonald model made entirely of LEGO bricks (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) It is much higher than you think. McDonalds has over 25,000 "restaurants." (...) These "poor employees" are probably the people who work in the Enfield model shop that most people think is a dream job. Ha ha ha ha! Not the kind of dream they (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Actually, it's a LEGO employee that's doing the model. The newspaper that I work for had an article about it in yesterday's paper -- I didn't notice it until someone said, "Hey, Mike, did you read the business section?" "No. Why?", I replied. (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

Ah, so that's what they look like. The caption says it all... More than 13,000. The LEGO employee does look rather comatose... :-) <ICS> (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) One of the articles I saw mentioned them building 13,000 of those things. Thats awfully large amounts of Ronald McDonalds. I suspect you could get some inexpensive labor to build them, and it wouldn't take too long, though. Assembly line LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) As it happens I do work in manufacturing... I find it completely reasonable to think that such machines may exist or could be built. And I am sure that sets are packaged in some sort of automated process assembly line. What annoys me is your (...) (25 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
